| Finca Cerro de Oro is owned by the Salaverría sisters, Anabella and María Alicia who have spent their entire life around the coffee as their father diligently prepared them to take over the family legacy by having them accompany him to watch over
the plantations, check the
labors and spending their whole vacations and holidays in the family’s
mill
located in Salcoatitán, a little town in the Sonsonate department.
These
days, all this knowledge is being passed on to their own daughters,
Ana
Paola and Cristina Leonor, so that they learn to love their coffee,
the
farm, and the people that work in, so that they keep their legacy. Finca Cerro do Oro has a long history and.was acquired more than 90 years ago and was baptized
by
the sister’s great grand father, Francisco Salaverría, who was one of
the coffee growing pioneers in the Juayúa area. Since then, the farm
has
been in the family’s hands, and has passed from generation to
generation, until in 1991 their father Julio Cesar Salaverría passed
the
farm to them, and last year gave them both total management and rights
over the farm.
